I think they are now on the right track. My last purchase was 1.40. So I am happy. Still a long way to recover what lost though.

I am signed up to automatically reinvest. Doubt will ever get to where it was when first started investing in standard life. But don't see it going down. And dividends are good.

I hope so. I am in at 117. So now thinking on averaging down. Problem is everything I seem to touch seems to drop. Only good buys last couple of years have been Aberdeen and vanquis. Mobico being my worst.

You must be a shorter. If you think it's dog. Why do you bother ?

Not just retail. Every single share of mine is taking a hammering. Aberdeen. Mobico. Jd. Etc. Nightmare. But not a time to panic. Think it's gona get worse before it gets better. Let's see if trump goes ahead with his threats.

I bought this stock at around 50p . Was kicking myself as was ready to buy back in to bring down my average when it suddenly jumped 30% thought I had missed the opportunity. Then bang dropping like a bomb thanks to the real bombs dropping. I won't jump back in yet. But will try to catch the bottom. Where that will be who knows. If knew that I would be rich lol. It's not just mobico taking a kicking. Most of my other shares are too. Dr Martins. Jd sports. Aberdeen. But at some point there is going to be an opportunity to buy. Wish I had a crystal ball to know when that will be lol.

I am same bought at 1.17. But have no confidence in buying more

Been in with Aberdeen since was standard life. Had my pension with them since 92. Then when was given free shares have topped up each time on big drops. Then dropped even more. Bought at 450. 400. 350.300. 250 etc. Burnt each time. More recently at 180. And 130. Fingers crossed it's now on the way up. Though doubt ever get back to the highs of 500s.

Mary . the one time i have not bought on the dip as keep getting my fingers burnt. but did buy at 143.

Why do i always pick duds. jd and abrdn by far my biggest holding. both losing me money, my son is a bit of a gamer and about 6 years ago kept telling me to buy nvidia. if had listened to him instead of pumping more money into abrdn i would be rich now lol.

Been buying the dips for years. every bloody time i do it drops even more.

About spanish waiting jobs. they are paid peanuts. mostly students. and spanish dont tip well.

I have lost a small fortune with abrdn/standard life.. stupid me kept buying on drops around 450 . 350. 300. 250. each time bloody dropping more. recently bought again at 143. thought i eventualy caught the bottom. looks like going to get fingers burnt again. merging standard life with aberdeen was huge mistake.

Looked at buying last week. been trying to pick up cheap shares last few months on big drops. jd sports. dr martins. mobico. amongst others. glad i did not jump in on this last week. def dodged a bullet.

Dont get me started on the name change. what clown came up with that idea ? should never have done the deal with aberdeen in the first place.

Mary i hope you are right. doubt i will ever get my money back though. bought at 450. 350. 250. and recently at 143. suppose at least above last purchase lol.

Well took the plunge with mobico at 54p . cant go much lower surely.

Been watching docs for a while . good a time as any me thinks to jump in. maybe a buyer will come along to make me a decent profit :)

Well just bought my first shares in vanq. fingers crossed for good results tomorrow. i bought itv the day before results. that worked out well. hope for the same here.

Richox. i have also been invested in standard life for a long time. also have my pension and endowment with them. biggest mistake was getting involved with aberdeen. i put 5000 pounds into technology fund with aberdeen 25 years ago. thought will just forget about it and hopefully when i am 50 will have made a huge profit. how wrong i was. i am now holding 14000 abrdn shares.added again last week at 143. but i have no choice but to hold and hope there is a recovery in sp. another moan is what idiot came up with the idea of changing the name to abrdn.
